I know this is going to sound really strange but trust me, I have years of towing experience on a variety of trailers.
I have a 19 ft tracker targa deep V boat I pulled for the last 2 years. I was always able to pull in 7th / 8th gear on the highway. Last few times I towed the truck doesn't want to stay in 7th, and in 6th most of the time. Drops down to 5th on a normal highway grade. Checked my trailer and no brakes are dragging. Tires on truck / trailer are aired up properly. Same load on the boat / truck
My MPG also went down from about 12 to 8.
Any idea what could give? I have a 2019 1500, crew cab, 5.7, with the 3.21 gears. Off road package / air ride. Always maintained well and has 40k miles.
Thanks in advance I know this is such an open ended post but wondering if anyone else has experienced same thing
